Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

These words were conveyed to ordinary citizens watching television and mobile news through the live broadcast on television.

For many people, all they know is that Amano Aki has nothing to do with drugs. If they have previously criticized her online, they can take advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention now and quietly delete their comments.

That's how most people are.

They don't need to care who is right or wrong; all they need to do is get involved and become someone else's pawn when the event happens.

For those connected to Kazuya Sawashiro and Aki Amano, this outcome is undoubtedly the best. They don't need to issue a statement severing ties with Nozomi; they can simply continue doing what they hadn't finished before.

The school was relieved, Apple Japan was relieved, the parents' association was relieved... but there were always people who were not at ease, such as Watanabe Souta's secretary.

Yamada has already fled, and the Metropolitan Police Department has also arrested the two illegal workers.

I believe those who work illegally will keep quiet.

Don't be silly, it's only a matter of time before those two reveal the middleman.

Moreover, it's highly likely that the Metropolitan Police Department is already pursuing the middleman. After all, people in the underworld believe in "better to die than to die yourself." Those who work illegally can be lenient if they confess, but the middleman who posts the job is definitely committing a serious crime.

Once the Metropolitan Police Department realizes that the fugitive Yamada is the mastermind behind it all, their own lives will not be easy.

So, are we going to turn around and stab Watanabe Souta in the back?

The secretary was only considering the possibility of being betrayed, but someone had already done it.

...

Hours after the press conference ended, as he had agreed with Kazuya Sawashiro, Takuya Kurosaki took the negatives and his chat history with his secretary and turned himself in at a random police station.

When he met with Kazuya Sawashiro last night, the two made a gentleman's agreement.

Sawashiro Kazuya wouldn't reveal his illegal recording to anyone, but he needed Kurosaki Takuya to do one thing: stake out near Amano Aki's house, take photos of the Metropolitan Police Department's house search, and then send them to the employer he was in contact with.

After a moment's thought, Kurosaki Takuya understood Sawashiro Kazuya's purpose in doing so.

If being a good person means always doing good deeds and treating those who hurt you with sincerity, then what's the point of being a good person?

Good people will fight back, and Kurosaki Takuya is willing to be the one to sound the horn of retaliation.

So he added more weight here, completing the counterattack plan for Kazuya Sawashiro, and then the following events unfolded.

The Narcotics Control Office received a tip from an informant. While they were conducting their preliminary investigation, Kazuya Sawashiro took Aki Amano to the police station to report themselves, which led to a search by the Narcotics Control Office and the Narcotics Control Division. Takuya Kurosaki took the opportunity to take photos.

After taking the photo, he immediately posted it out under the pretext of a major event.

Unsurprisingly, the photo was immediately forwarded to newspapers and magazines, and made headlines in the entertainment section the following morning.

Because the incident happened suddenly and caused a huge uproar, the Control Department and the Countermeasures Office had to speed up the investigation and provide the public with a current investigation report as soon as possible, telling them the results they were most concerned about.

But no matter when he holds a press conference, Takuya Kurosaki would turn himself in the day after the incident broke, bringing the negatives and chat logs with him.

The purpose of doing this is, firstly, to confirm the fact that Watanabe Entertainment is deeply involved in this matter.

Because Kurosaki Takuya only sent those photos to the person who hired him, and the photos appeared in the newspaper the next day, it was obvious who gave the photos to the newspaper. Naturally, it was Kurosaki Takuya's employer.

So who is Kurosaki Takuya's employer?

The answer is Watanabe Souta's secretary. Kurosaki Takuya still has his contact information on his phone, directly pointing the finger at Watanabe Entertainment. The secretary will also be taken to the police station for obstructing official business.

The second objective is to attract the Fair Trade Commission.

Because in Kurosaki Takuya's possession are not only records of his reports to his secretary, but also records of his secretary giving him instructions. These are key pieces of evidence proving that Watanabe Entertainment is engaging in inappropriate behavior towards Amano Aki.

Based on these records, if Kurosaki Takuya accidentally reveals that there were detectives doing similar things in the past, and Sawashiro Kazuya then brings up Kazama Yumi's affairs, the Fair Trade Commission will be wielding the anti-monopoly stick to attack them.

I'm not afraid of you doing this, I'm afraid you'll do it and leave evidence, and then it'll all come out at this delicate time.

Even if you are a top-tier firm in the industry, you still have to avoid the overwhelming public opinion.

As for Kurosaki Takuya, who exposed all of this, he will not suffer any harm.

Backstabbing his employer would certainly affect his career, but everyone knows why he did it. It was clearly his employer who broke their agreement by releasing the photos he had risked his life to take. The Metropolitan Police Department is now looking for him on charges of obstructing official business.

Under such circumstances, what's wrong with him turning himself in?

Just three days after Kurosaki Takuya surrendered himself, the Metropolitan Police Department summoned Watanabe Souta's secretary to the department to report on the matter of obstruction of official duties.

However, representatives from the Public Safety Commission and the Fair Trade Commission were also present to hear the report.

Based on the information provided by Takuya Kurosaki, they immediately summoned Kazuya Sawashiro for questioning to verify whether the information provided by Takuya Kurosaki was accurate.

Ze Cheng was just waiting for the Metropolitan Police Department to come knocking on his door. He recounted everything that had happened, including realizing that a detective was following him, the recording studio he had agreed to have suddenly been sold, other recording studios that he had approached reneging on their agreements, and the fact that he had phone recordings on hand…

The problem goes beyond just stalking; it could also involve industry monopolies. So the Metropolitan Police Department didn't rush to summon him but instead shared the information with the Fair Trade Commission.

Both sides formed an investigation team to conduct a secret investigation into the matter. They found the relevant companies and departments mentioned by Kazuya Sawashiro, such as recording studios, broadcasting stations, and record stores. The final target was Watanabe Souta's secretary.

Thus, this multi-party meeting took place.

The secretary, who arrived at the meeting, looked ashen-faced. Before anyone could ask him a question, he stood up, bowed, and apologized to Kazuya Sawashiro, who was present: "I feel deeply ashamed and remorseful for the trouble I caused to Kazuya Sawashiro and Aki Amano this time because of my personal desires..."

The secretary's meaning was very simple.

He did it because Yamada approached him, hoping he would use his position as executive secretary to "discipline" Kazuya Sawashiro and Aki Amano. After accepting a huge sum of money from Yamada, he used his position as secretary to instruct detectives to follow Kazuya Sawashiro and Aki Amano, doing those things knowingly in violation of anti-monopoly laws.

He orchestrated everything, including warning recording studios not to record for Aki Amano, warning platforms not to promote Aki Amano's new songs, and ordering broadcasters not to report on Aki Amano's new songs.

He is willing to bear all legal responsibilities.
